COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Demonstrate efficiency with various printing methods.
2. Analyze and describe the very different roles of artist and printer through attempting various moods of printing colors from a single plate on various papers.
3. Demonstrate confidence in printing abilities through the capability of repeating a good print.
4. Demonstrate an acquired preference for a way of working based on a drawing style, historical influence, and/or technical discovery.
5. Use a wide range of appropriate technology with possible references to historical innovation.
6. Describe how to maintain a printmaking facility, where to buy supplies, how to maintain and service a press, and which inks to use for various effects.
Topics and Scope
Untitled document
1. Techniques of production for advanced level etched plates
a. line etching
b. drypoint, engraving, roulette, and engraving (Burin hand work)
c. aquatint, by hand and by box coverage
d. softground transfer and drawing in softground, through fine papers
e. deep bite and relief-rolled methods
f. black manner burnished mezzotint or aquatint (from black back to white)
2. Printing process, from trial proofs through identical editioned impressions
a. tarlatan wipe
b. hand wipe
c. brayer roll (stencil)
d. roller use for transparency
3. Composition of inks and physics of mixing inks for different purposes and tasks
a. black inks for printing etchings
b. black inks for printing other wiped plates (e.g., drypoint, engraving, aquatint)
c. colored inks for printing wiped plates (all techniques)
d. colored inks for rolled plates and stencils
e. special inking processes (e.g., double drop, viscosity, multiple plate printing)
f. monotype/monoprint applications
4. Maintenance and safe use of materials, tools, and equipment
a. print papers
b. inks and solvents
c. acids and neutralizers
d. etching and plate processing tools
e. etching presses and printing blankets
f. resists and rosins
5. History of the graphic arts, print media, and print images in historic and contemporary contexts
Assignments:
Untitled document
1. Keep an ongoing dedicated sketchbook of thumbnail drawings representing related ideas for print subject matter or content preferences.
2. Construct a chart organizing pure and mixed colored inks, complete with transparency observation.
3. Apply combination of color discoveries to a plate of recent completion and pull some color test proofs.
4. Apply skills acquired from prior semesters' platemaking and image evolution to produce a set of larger plates for more graphic effect. Utilize a recommended format such as:
a. a banner-like horizontal or vertical screen
b. a diptych or a triptych
c. a boxed sequence of square prints (3 or more smaller plates)
d. a chronological sequence sharing subject mattter
5. Interpret through presentation or 2-3-page paper the content of a set of existing works by an etcher of worldwide reputation and use aspects of his/her solutions to inform a print 'homage.'
6. Evolve an abstract composition and add layers of technique, utilizing the elements of chance and exploring the abstract nature of print technologies for their own properties.
7. Complete an etched plate with the intention of working through a range of tints to a saturated hue of printed color.
8. Participate in 'tandem' printing with teammate, sharing final print processes of editioning work and exchanging feedback to improve outcome.
9. Present completed work with professional concern for impact; matte at least one piece for display.
10. Take a quiz on intaglio printmaking terminology.
Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
